Eldamo : Gnomish : bas-

G. bas- [mb-] v. “to bake” (Category: to Bake)

⚠️G. bas- [mb-], v. “to bake” (Category: to Bake): ᴺS. ^basta- “to bake”

A verb appearing as G. bas- “bake” in the Gnomish Lexicon of the 1910s (GL/22), based on the early root ᴱ√M(B)ASA “cook, bake” (QL/59).

Neo-Sindarin: For purposes of Neo-Sindarin I would update this verb to ᴺS. basta- “to bake” for better compatibility with the later Quenya verb [ᴹQ.] masta-. I first saw this neologism suggested by Fiona Jallings (FJNS/339).
